Default "colors'

I always liked a shinny black harley against chrome. I feel you can never go wrong. I ordered my Street Glide special in gloss black for delivery in the begining of March. The dealer has 6 colors lined up side by side and I got to say the amber whiskey really stands out and the deep red is nice also.
I hate the Liberace blue metaflake just gaudy.

I feel a black and chrome harley is just classic and never tiring

I would like to hear opinions of others

Thanks
Mike

Black is the only colour I will own but that's just my 2 cents.

I agree black is a safe color for a HD, never gets old and always looks good. On the other hand they are everywhere and part of the HD experience is making it stand out and personalize it. I went with Charcoal Pearl to be different without being to loud. The Merlot looks good in the sun but I'm not a big fan of red Harley's.

Black is a great color, but after owning 4 black bikes in a row, if I ever buy another, it likely won't be black.
